This is an *invaluable* talk for someone thinking about commercial farming at this scale and with permaculture or organic aims. Excellent to see them running as a coop too!
Very helpful tools for farming. I am glad we have like that leaders who sharing their key succession tools in their business. Thank you, very much and I keep listen because I will have my own farm in 5 years.
I appreciate this so much. I’m trying to figure out what I can do to get started. This has been really good. The thing is, how to actually get started without biting off more than I’ll have to chew.
That is exactly where I am at. I am really excited to get started but realize that I am going to have to take it slow while making enough to stay afloat. Have fun! Best to you.
Great talk. Does anyone have a reference for average yield (in lbs) per bed foot by crop? Looking for the usual suspects (especially cutting greens and bunching greens). I know it will vary depending on spacing, conditions, variety, etc., but having a starting point of how much to expect in yields would be super helpful!
1:16:16 you are describing a bedfoot. I am assuming your bedfoot width is 5 foot walk space to walk space? So that's only 3 heads of lettuce for every 5 feet. I can see why a tractor is not efficient.
45 % of 450 000 = 202,500$ -> 202,500$ - 80,000$ = 122,500$ for 5 people. -> 122,500 / 5 = 24,500$ per farmer owners... I really hope there's a more profitable way of farming especially with 40-55 hours weeks...
What about you also saving money for your own food that you get free from farm? Is this make it profitable? Especially when you only eat organic and being a vegan (that eats a lot of plants). Just want to know if this prospective changes anything at your formula. (really just want to know, because i don't know how much expenses can save you at hes country)
You don’t hardly spend anything just on produce. $50/wk for produce would be a huge amount even for a whole family. And you’d have to give up a lot of foods you don’t grow.
There is. It’s called the normal way, which is more profitable, which is why people do it. This way is very productive in terms of land and wasteful in terms of labor. The only people making nice, not marginal, middle class incomes doing this are growing only herbs and specialty cut and come again greens and they have a big market to sell it in.
no tractors on organic farms....too much risk of soil contamination. Also, the "back to eden" guy uses dried blood...how can one assure that is organic?? As a vegan and someone that is kosher, that makes me sick...is this a common practice?
This is the problem with the word organic. It depends on how you define it. But yes, the organic farm industry is heavily dependent upon the byproducts of the meat industry.
Vegan Organic Network has done sterling work on stock free farming and has proven farms growing their own fertility . Some extraordinary no till farming too . I had to see a field of potatoes grown under hay to believe it.
@@dana102083 there are other ways to put nutrients into the soil, especially with small scale gardeners and farmers. I am not going to lit all of the ways, there are too many. It is just a little more work. Don't know why I said that I was a vegan, I am not. I practice a vegetarian diet and ave been doing so for for over 20 year. I do object however to the use of slaughterhouse remnants in fertilizer. I grow my own and/or from the farm that I work at. I have been working farms for years, so therefore I am not ignorant or some newbie "vegan". Dried blood fertilizer is often the product of dead pork/swine, and as someone who is also kosher, I don't want that on my food. If I choose to be vegetarian, I want to know that there i no blood in my food. If you observe nature (left to it's own devices) , renutrification of the soil occurs mostly through manure and rotting plant material, rain water (nitrogen), and the RANDOM dead animal. Nature does not slaughter millions of animals to regenerate itself. Mankind destroyed living soils through the stripping of nutrients by overfarming, poor.greedy management, chemical fertilizers, and not treating the earth like a living thing. Regenerative farming and/or regenerative permaculture is a better way. I suggest watching some of Vandana Shiva's talks. Also, here is a short little youtube to get you started on info about regenerative agriculture. ruclips.net/video/fSEtiixgRJI/видео.html
@@lileelisamc.4722 I can agree with that, I said animals are needed. Bringing up vegan makes it become religion and has nothing to do with sustained living. Organic means nothing unless you know how its grown; organic is a stupid line in which producers must follow to have some "ethics".

good video, thanks

This is probably per month. Not yearly
It’s per year. He said so.

Oh lord.. Animals are needed to replace the soil nurtients. Vegans and pb community is killing our living soils. Makes me angry, actually.
